West Terceira Van Tour + Cheese Tasting

During this excursion, you will explore Monte Brasil and the natural pools of Biscoitos, two essential attractions in the western part of Terceira. In addition, you will have the opportunity to savor a variety of traditional Azorean cheeses.

West Terceira Van Tour + Cheese Tasting

At the designated time, we will collect you from your chosen pickup location in Angra do Heroísmo, the island's capital. Adjacent to this city lies the renowned Monte Brasil. Curious about its name? We'll discover the story behind it during our journey!

Our adventure begins with a 40-minute walking tour across the Monte Brasil peninsula. This hill, situated in southern Terceira and formed by an extinct tuff volcano, features two observation points: the crater viewpoint and the Cruzinhas viewpoint.

Subsequently, we will continue our exploration of Terceira. As we drive, we will pause briefly for photographs in charming villages such as São Mateus da Calheta. Next, we'll visit a farm nestled in the island's interior where you will be treated to a cheese tasting featuring local Azorean products, including the famous Queijo Vaquinha. You will enjoy a delightful array of the most celebrated cheese brands from the region, which are quite well-liked across Portugal.

Our journey will then take us to the well-known natural pools of Biscoitos, where a half-hour walking tour will provide insights into the formation of these lagoons. A little hint: as with many natural attractions in the Azores, their origin links back to volcanic activity.

In conclusion, we will return you to your accommodation, with an arrival time of approximately 3 to 4 hours after the pickup.
